ASTM D6191 Standard Test Method for the Measurement of Evolved Formaldehyde from Water-Reducible Air - Dry Coatings

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D6191 standard. This test method can be used to measure the amount of formaldehyde developed from air-drying water-reducible coatings using latexes, resin emulsions, or water-reducible alkyds.

The results can be used to identify "free" formaldehyde from a sample under controlled laboratory conditions.

This test method measures the amount of formaldehyde released from a coating under laboratory conditions. The amount of formaldehyde that can be released from a coating may vary depending on the composition and may decrease as the sample ages.

This test method can be used for typical air drying paints where water is the main volatile material. The useful range in the sample is estimated to be 10 ppm to 1000 ppm formaldehyde.

Significant amounts of other volatile aldehydes, such as acetaldehyde, have been reported to interfere with the formaldehyde determination. This limitation is not expected to cause a problem for most common water-reducible coatings.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
